Lewis was originally classified as a recruit in the 2019 class, but he was able to earn enough high school credits to enroll at the start of the fall 2018 semester. The decision, made the same day as his commitment to Alabama, meant Lewis had less than two weeks to prepare for his first day of class.

During his year at Hazel Green, Lewis was named the Alabama Class 6A Player of the Year, averaging 29.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.5 assists.
